Two cycle internal combustion hydrocycle engine
This patent describes an internal combustion engine. It comprises a hollow cylinder; a compression piston reciprocatably disposed within the cylinder; means, including a rotatable flywheel connected to the compression piston, for storing energy from reciprocation of the compression piston; a power piston reciprocatably disposed within the cylinder and opposing the compression piston; a pump having means for injecting a combustible mixture between the compression piston and the power piston; means for igniting the combustible mixture; whereby ignition of the combustible mixture causes the power piston to move away from the compression piston within the cylinder and the pumping member to move with the power piston to displace fluid from the fluid chamber through the fluid outlet; and means for controlling the injection and ignition of the combustible mixture for self-sustaining reciprocation of the compression piston.
